## About the role

You'll be the technical lead in Alkira's largest enterprise deals — in the room with network architects and infrastructure directors, owning the technical side of the deal from first conversation through POC to close. This is a pre-sales engineering role. You'll partner directly with an Account Manager on strategy and carry real influence over what we build next — our Product team treats SE field feedback as a primary input to the roadmap.

- Partner with Alkira Account Managers to understand customer requirements and pain points. Assist with any technical asks from customers and help respond to RFP/RFIs
- Scope, run and win Proof of Concepts end to end
- Assist customers with design and deployment based on best practices
- Work with Alkira Product Management team to provide feedback on upcoming features from the customer's lens
